Show LODGE HAS NO 'PHONE. One development of the exciting campaign cam-paign in Massachusetts . which has caused general surprise and, comment is that Senator Lodge does not keep a telephone tel-ephone in his residence, and, moreover, that be is decidedly averse to nsing the telephone under any circumstances. The Massachusetts statesman is one of the few members of Congress who do not have telephones) in their Washington Wash-ington residences : or apartments. In his committee room at the eapitol. Senator Lodge has a telephone, but it has been noticed that he personally uses this very seldom. It is only to talk with the President on important, pressing matters of legislation that Mr. Lodge has ever been known to converse con-verse over the 'phone. Just what his objection is to the telephone is not known, though that his aversion is strong is a well established fact. Senator Sen-ator Hale, by , the way, is ' another statesman who employs the telephone rarely, and his committee room is the only one at the eapitol, that is not supplied with one. |
